In her first speech as Chairman, Rohan outlined her goals for the year, which include ensuring ACHE is an indispensable leadership partner.“We want to personalize your experience to meet you where you are in your career,” said Rohan. “For instance, we recognize that the first year of membership is critical, and we are identifying ways to assure that first-year experience is one that leads to the next 10, 20, 30 years.
